To take this holistic knowledge to corporate we conduct workshops on Stress Management, Emotional Resilience, Creativity, Work Life Balance, Building Immunity, Self Leadership etc to individuals & corporate houses.

Great Companies: What makes Shrimath Yoga different from hundreds of other Yoga Training schools?

Krishna Prakash:

We take only 6 to 10 students per batch, whether it is online or offline. We do not engage in any other commercial activity like selling products as our only focus is offering authentic Yoga how it was taught in ancient Gurukul system. We encourage our course participants to daily work at the rural school and Shrimath farm, these activities along with silence during meal times helps participants internalize Yoga as a way of life.

We also would have moved many of our workshops and courses to donation based than fee based
